Made from estate-grown Syrah from Sine Qua Non’s own vineyards in California, it stands out for its exceptional concentration, elegance, and unmistakable sense of personality. The name “Touche” feels fitting for a wine that balances depth and intensity with a remarkably delicate, almost tactile finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the wine shows a deep, dark color with violet highlights, hinting at the richness to come. The nose opens with layered aromas of blackberries, dark plums, licorice, smoke, pepper, violets, and subtle floral notes, giving it both muscle and perfume.\n\nOn the palate, it is intense and velvety, with waves of dark fruit, spice, and mineral character wrapped around ripe tannins and a vibrant line of acidity. Despite its powerful structure, the wine feels polished and balanced, finishing long and nuanced. This is a Syrah with excellent aging potential, likely to continue evolving gracefully over many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTouche 2012 comes from Sine Qua Non’s own estate vineyards in California, where old Syrah vines are farmed with meticulous care and extremely low yields to maximize concentration and complexity.
